Welcome to my new site. I have started a new project, making hats, blankets and some clothing for the Preemies in the NICU. They are in need of hats to keep their body heat in, blankets to help the parents feel more comfortable with this tiny person that is here too early, and clothing that is made in their hard to find sizes. All the patterns are designed by me. If you like them and use them frequently, enter a donation. All money will be used on the babies. Thank you for visiting.

Hello everyone. It is Christmas Eve and all is quiet here. We have no small children in the house so it really is quiet. We are also awaiting an inch or two of snow. I have been working hard making ruffle scarves while my daughter sells them. All the money has gone to buying more supplies for the preemies. I have also just sent another box of blankets and hats out. This one went to Kentucky. The packages are really getting around. I do hope to continue this project next year. Just remember if you want to help with postage or supplies, just hit the donation button.

For all the repeat viewers, thank you for coming back. I am glad that this site is helping so many others pursue the same path that I am taking. It helps so many. I saw a picture of a tiny preemie that had passed, he had a hat on that was too big, and a crocheted square that had slits in it for his little arms. After seeing this I continue to make smaller hats because there is a need for them and tiny garments. So give a hand and make others happy. In the mean time

Trim: Attach white to last row of bodice. Ch 1, 1 sc in same spot, continue up bodice with 1 sc evenly spaced up side. Ch 1, 1 sc in each st around neck to end, ch 1 and sc down other side of bodice. At the end of bodice, change to Bluebell and continue with sc down side to end, ch 1, working 1 sc in each dc along bottom row, missing each ch 1 space, to end. Ch 1 and sc up side and join to beginning of white trim. Hide all end and trim.

Row 4 to 8: *2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc in ch 1 space, fpdc around next dc* around. Join to top of ch 3. End after 8th row. Attach Bluebell and ch 1, 1 sc in each st and ch 1 space around hat. Join and end. Hide all ends and trim.

I put white ribbon in row 1 and row 8. Cut a length to give extra room for tying.

I have really been busy cutting and sewing all the fleece I bought for the babies. My husband's office looks like the fleece factory but he doesn't mind. I am also making ruffle scarves to sell. The profits go towards the fleece. Plus I am making hats and things in between. No there isn't 24 hours to a day, there are more.

I have been working on a new pattern for a gown. Will post when it is all done.

Thank you to those who have given me donations. I do use it to buy more supplies. Lots of ladies have asked for hats for "Memory Boxes" and I have been sending hats and small blankets for the boxes. They are for the Moms who have babies born too soon or born sleeping as they say. I still provide things for NICU'S. The latest to get a box was St Josephs in Arizona.

Just wanted to update everyone. I do have a site on Facebook too. www.crochet Preemie Hats
